Game Day Round 8 vs. Richmond, Sat 07/05, 1:45pm MCG

[Aussie pie]

People are absolutely delusional. Begg debuted against the best tap ruckman in the league.

If you told ANYONE, he was going to have 15 disposals, 4 marks & 3 tackles. People would have been happy.

Cameron had 2 easy goals and didn’t do much else.

Yes he debuted as a Rckman and had 2 hit outs. If you want a midfielder then put reef in the Ruck, he’ll get the same amount of tap outs.

 

[whiskeytown]

Did I miss something in relation to Beggs game? 15 disposals, 4 marks & 3 tackles.

He plays next week.

At 85% efficiency from only 55% time on ground

Even took a contested mark which I haven’t seen from him in the VFL

 

[Jafo]

in cox out begg

need the added strength v nankervis

in Henry out WHE

in Macrae out C Brown

make Poulter sub

I’d go with those selections too. But wait. Are you saying Begg for?

You and many others who weekly call for WHE to be dropped. That’s delusional.

Thought Tyler was Okay

 

[stormskye]

Thought Tyler was Okay

A full time mid who gets 8 possessions is not okay.

Yup his 17 disposals, 0 tackles and 190 meters gain is just absolutely irreplaceable.

I didn't.

Broken clocks are right twice a day. One day WHE will be dropped. For the first time? But not next week.

Out: Cal, Tyler, WHE
In: Henry, Poulter, Reef

WHE sub.

+ 1
Although I’d be ok if Tyler played a few

Edit: and Reef in the team - not medisub please

 

[Jen2310]

Fly says here, Begg/Cameron will be the combo for next week at very least. You can't change that he said.

Post Match: Craig McRae

Hear from the coach after his side's 25 point victory over the Suns at the G.

I’d drop Cameron before I drop Begg atm.

I think we’d be too cumbersome with just Cameron and Cox. Therefore Begg wouldn’t be my choice to make way for Cox. If we can’t play all 3 of Cameron, Cox and Begg then it’s a decision between Cox’s greater tap ruck ability vs Cameron’s marking around the ground.

Thought Tyler was Okay

He was Sh$t as per usual .

 

[PyrrhicVic]

A full time mid who gets 8 possessions is not okay.

He was not a "full time mid."

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Begg and CBrown for Cox and Henry.

We need a passable number 1 ruck, Begg isn't it, Cox is as close as we get currently. Begg can play again in the future when Grundy is back in the team.
Henry can play third tall to let JDG play full-time mid.

Tbrown was okay, most tackles on the ground, did a lot of defensive work.

I thought RH was a test this week, so if he's available he obviously plays.

Typical Collingwood.

Drop the kid after 1 game.
Keep the blokes in who haven't done a thing for 2-3 years.

 

[Moore of the Same]

Im not sure why so many people want Reef back in so quickly. I like the kid, but 2 touches vs the bombers and no game time today? He can go back to the 2s and earn another run.

 

[TradeDraft]

I didn't.

There where worse then Tyler

Neither were easy goals. Didn't do much after q1 but his first quarter was excellent.

Reef Can Kick and Callum Brown Can't Total Dud

 

[Doc1763]

There where worse then Tyler

Who?

 

[barrackers]

T Brown does a few nice things every now and then as a mid, but I think for now at least we consider whether he’d provide more consistency and use different strengths better in another position. I’d like to see what he could provide at half back.

 

[Moore of the Same]

Reef Can Kick and Callum Brown Can't Total Dud

So why not Poulter, or Macrae who each have played well in the VFL?

 

[Magnanimous]

I think Tyler could play a tagging role on Prestia.

The obvious is bringing in Henry for WHE (who was pretty fumbly all day) and McInnes back in for Callum. Callum absolutely shat the bed today when he could easily have played a 15-20 disposal role and supported our ball movement from the back to wing.

We have a height issue with Noah Balter, Riewoldt and Lynch all up forward so happy for us to stay taller.

Isn’t Prestia injured?
